About Sophie C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am kind, patient and attentive. I will help to casually train / reinforce good pet behaviors. Most pets warm up to me quickly. I truly enjoy their company, and they seem to enjoy mine!
Information Sophie C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any details of care that you will need for your fur babies. I am a gentler type of petsitter, but I also love fun, energetic critters! I am great with both cats and dogs, highly sensitive to their needs and will do everything I can to make them comfortable and happy. Please do let me know in advance if your pet has issues with aggression, to make sure we are a good fit .
A typical day
* For cats, feather wand toys are a favorite, but little woolen balls or even hide and seek can be super fun! Many cats just want pets, cuddles and loving company which i am happy to provide! * I have been known to dance with puppies/ dogs, if they're game (solo, not partner- no tangos! But a little disco spin could happen.... ) * For Senior / rehabbing dogs & cats, I will go at their pace, massage stiff limbs, pet and watch over them with care, and play with them as desired! Overall, i go at the pet's pace, let them tell me what they want, whether just a warm lap or just lots of gentle positive talk.

Sophie is great with my newly adopted pup! potter can be high energy and she was amazing with him. I was able to go to work without any worries about my boy.
Sophie is perfect! So communicative and responsible and a rescue kitty and dog whisperer!
Sophie was great with our pup, very attentive and communicative. Overall a positive experience! Thanks Sophie!
